Cavill has been one of the top contenders among all with multiple fan art depicting why the actor could be a perfect choice for the role. However, The Witcher star’s previous statement about potentially joining the MCU suggests that he is less likely to join the MCU as the adamantium-clawed mutant.

Amidst a slew of projects in the MCU’s pipeline, with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ being the sole 2024 release, there’s been a shift in focus towards quality over quantity, as announced by Iger previously. However, recent rumors suggest otherwise, indicating a multitude of projects currently in development.
Among these projects is a series centered around Captain Britain, potentially replacing the previously rumored MI13 show.
The inclusion of Captain Britain in the MCU isn’t a recent development, with rumors dating as far back as 2018. For the uninitiated, Captain Britain, alter ego of Brian Braddock, transcends being merely a British counterpart to Captain America. Introduced in 1976, his character is imbued with mystical powers by Merlyn, blending elements of a superhero with those of a mystical guardian. Often, his adventures traverse magical realms, offering a captivating layer to the MCU’s narrative landscape.

MCU has a lot of projects currently in development, despite ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ being the only movie to be released in 2024. Iger announced a while back that they are going to focus on quality over quantity but if recent rumors are true, that may not be the case since plenty of projects are rumored to be in development currently.
One of those projects is a show focusing on Captain Britain, which is possibly a project that replaced the rumored MI13 show.
Captain Britain in the MCU is nothing new, as the character was rumored to join the MCU as early as 2018. For those unfamiliar, Captain Britain, also known as Brian Braddock, is more than just a British “version of Captain America“. He was introduced in 1976 and has magical powers given by Merlyn, making him a mix of superhero and mystical guardian. His stories often involve magical realms, which could add...

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League hasn’t been the most promising title in recent times, and the community still wants to give it a chance. Unfortunately, the game’s marketing is nowhere to be seen. even though the game’s first season is just a week away.
There’s no gameplay clip, pictures, or even details about what players can expect on launch day. This isn’t good news for the game, since the title is already in bad shape given its negative reviews and lackluster approach to a live-service model.
Fans haven’t been this disinterested in a game that involves the Joker The Joker is coming to the game! Excited? No? Understandable.
Despite a promising performance by actor Jp Karliak, it seems like the game’s marketing team is against any possibility of creating hype for the game. Even after the base game’s arrival has been nothing short of a flop,...

In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Cavill mentioned he’s aware of the buzz around him taking up the role and finds the idea quite appealing. ‘I have the internet, and I have seen the various rumors about Captain Britain, and that would be loads of fun to do a cool, modernized version of that — like the way they modernized Captain America.

For those not in the loop, Captain Britain, aka Brian Braddock, isn’t just a British version of Captain America. Introduced in 1976, this character wields magical powers granted by Merlyn, making him a unique blend of superhero and mystical protector. His stories often intertwine with magical realms, adding a rich layer to his character that could bring a fresh twist to the MCU.

Small towns hide secrets. They’re typically really good at it too because the smaller the town it seems the darker the secret they are trying to hide. If you grew up in a tiny Midwest town like I did you would know this to be gospel. Southern noir or Southern Gothic is a special sort of genre that when done right shines a sinister light on those secrets. Add some good old good vs evil to the mix and the supernatural and you’ve got something special. In the case of todays series you had the best of all of these mixed into a twisted, beautiful, epic masterpiece that came happened to be co-launched by a master of horror named Sam Raimi and a gent more known for solving mysteries than writing them… a Hardy Boy himself Shaun Cassidy. The show is one of my favorite TV series of all time,...

ControversyWhile the remastered version of the movie still drew crowds to theatres, some fans called out the creators for retaining a homophobic dialogue between the lead actor Kamal Haasan and the villain Daniel Balaji. YouTube ScreengrabKamal Haasan’s Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu was re-released in Chennai on June 23, 17 years after its original release but some fans were not happy. While the remastered version of the movie still drew crowds to theatres, some of them have rightfully called out a scene that did not age well. In the movie, Kamal Haasan plays a police officer who is on the hunt for a serial killer duo Amudhan (Daniel Balaji) and Ilamaran (Salim Baig). When he confronts Amudhan, a visibly disgusted Raghavan (Kamal) asks, “On his [Ilamaran] back, there is a tattoo of your name and there is a heart below that. Are you both homosexuals?”, to which Amudhan looks visibly angry. The aforementioned clip has...

The Broadway revival of Camelot is ending its run on July 23.
The revival of the Lerner & Loewe musical, which features a revised book by Aaron Sorkin, began its run on March 9 at the Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont Theater and opened on April 13.
The revival of the 1960 musical received mixed reviews, but capacity dipped to 80 percent and grosses fell in recent weeks. Additionally, Camelot received five Tony Award nominations, including best revival of a musical, but did not take home any trophies. The production had planned to extend through at least Sept. 3.
The Bartlett Sher-directed revival, originally written by Alan Jay Lerner and centering on King Arthur’s creation of his kingdom and the love triangle between Arthur, Queen Guenevere and Sir Lancelot, featured a slightly trimmed down story and snappier dialogue, courtesy of Sorkin, who also removed all supernatural elements from the plot. Sorkin and Sher had previously...

This article contains WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye spoilers
We all know that when a character is killed offscreen, or presumed dead, it leaves the door open for their surprise return later on. But when you’re telling a multiverse tale, endless doors are already open. Such is the sandpit that Marvel Studios are playing with in their post-Avengers: Endgame Multiverse Saga. We may have been left to assume that Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) was murdered at the hands of Echo (Alaqua Cox) at the end of the Clint Barton MCU spinoff series Hawkeye, but we already know for sure that he’ll be back in Daredevil: Born Again. Is it any less likely that the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) will also return?
Like Kingpin, Wanda Maximoff was presumed dead after the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, having offed herself on Mount Wundagore while destroying every copy of...

Plot:
The League of Assassins give Oliver 48 hours to find Sara’s killer, but when the Arrow discovers the Killer’s identity. He has only one option left to him and that is to face the leader of the League… Ra’s al Ghul.
Verdict:
And so we arrive at the mid point of Arrow’s third season, a point where the show usually gives us a cliffhanger episode to tie us over to the festive period and into the new year (Happy New Year) until the series comes back on at the end of January. Well this series has certainly given us one hell of an episode to think about until January 21 (the gap feels a little too long at this point, which goes to show how strong of a impression this episode has left with me) when we will see what happens next.

Plot:
After finding out that Malcolm Meryln is still alive and hiding in Starling City, Team Arrow come to believe that the Dark Archer is actually Sara’s killer. But is he really?
Verdict:
Okay, this is more like it. After the first few episodes of this season, which did not have any real kind of forward momentum to them (I certainly did not feel any kind of sense as to where the show was going with this season’s arc or what that arc was supposed to be before this instalment), this episode finally kicks it up a notch and delves back into two of Arrow’s stronger story-lines. That being Malcolm Merlyn, while the other is the League of Assassin’s (yes I know they are both linked too, which is also a good thing).
I will say though,...

A poster on Reddit has apparently dropped a character breakdown for iconic DC villain Ra's al Ghul in the upcoming new season of The CW's "Arrow". The casting breakdown is said to have come from the upcoming fourth episode of the new season, 'The Magician,' and discusses the show's take on the character.
Name dropped numerous times during the second season, Ra's al Ghul is expected to serve as the main villain of the upcoming third season following in the tracks of previous 'Big Bads' like Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) and Deathstroke (Manu Bennett). Here's the description:
"Ra's al Ghul. Male, 40s-50s. Open ethnicity. Accent preferred. An iconic villain from the pages of DC Comics. Leader of the League of Assassins. Regal, mysterious, and of a bygone era. Proud and unforgiving. Ra's is a ruthless strategist, a master of martial arts, and a shaper of history. He carries the wisdom of the ages,...

And he misses the counterculture nature of being gay back then. “This whole marriage thing, I mean I understand it and I’m for it, but my heart isn’t in it. For my generation, it was just staying alive. Gay marriage never crossed my mind! Lesbians hoisted it upon us. I don’t know how a young gay guy can rebel any longer. When I was young, homosexuals were interesting and flawed. They were artists and hung out in cafés and were like Jean Genet, Gore Vidal, and James Baldwin. They were underground and shaping culture.
